Veo16 –User Guide
1
Installation
Thank you for purchasing an i3 Veo16 digital video recorder.
In order to function properly and to its full potential, i3 Veo16 unit must be located in a clean dust free room and a well ventilated area
with consistent temperatures within the acceptable range of 20-25° Celsius. The acceptable temperature range must be maintained for
the stability of the DVR. Operating Relative Humidity in the server room should be 20% to 80% (non-condensing). In addition, an
uninterrupted power supply (1000 VA) with a constant power of 118 to 120 AC must be used with each DVR. If the installation
environment does not meet the conditions above, there is a risk of system malfunction.
i3 International will only warranty its products if the installation environment meets the conditions above. Should the environmental
conditions be not met, the DVR warranty will be voided. i3 International highly recommends cleaning the DVR filter regularly to facilitate
the proper ventilation and normal air flow inside the unit (if available with your unit). The internal temperature of the units with unclean
filters is always higher, which often leads to overheating.
If the system needs to be modified or repaired, contact a certified i3 International Dealer/Installer. When serviced by unauthorized
technician, the system warranty will be voided. Should you have any problems or questions regarding our products, contact your local i3
International Dealer/Installer.
Precautions
Installation and serving should be performed only by qualified and experienced technicians to conform to all local codes and to maintain
your warranty.

excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
contaminants such as dust and smoke
strong magnetic fields
sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radios or TV transmitters
moisture and humidity
areas with mechanical vibrations
fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light
unstable light sources as this may cause flickering
temperatures below -10° Celsius or 14° Fahrenheit and above 50° Celsius or 122° Fahrenheit.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT
TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Installation should be carried out only by qualified personnel and in accordance with any electrical regulations enforced at the
time.
